I'm in need of gaining a peace of mind and a stonger bong with allah, help? - DiscussWorldIssues - Socio-Economic Religion and Political Uncensored Debate

**ZX3URrBH** · 04-20-2011, 02:57 AM

So I'm 19 years Old and I live in the united states. I came from Africa when I was 11 years old, but before I came I was very religious and read the quran everyday and my memory and my faith was extremely strong. As I began my new life in the United States, my father was more concerned with getting us a good education and didn't take us to islamic school on Saturdays and Sundays like we use to back in Africa. Now I'm here because I would like to change, but don't know how. My arabic is about 85 percent, although I could read and write the quran very well before I came, now I'm getting very weak at it. I use to recite so much, but when I pick up a kitab now, I can barely finish two lines without pausing and trying to remember the rules of recitation. I sometime don't even pray the salat, I try to but I get soo busy I forget, but what is worse is sometimes I hear the adan but I don't want to wake up and pray. In my heart I want to, but my mind is saying otherwise. Also I'm very nervous and sweat where ever I go, I always feel like Im going to fail in all task even though I study very hard in school. It feels like like I'm doing something wrong, but I don't known how to correct it. I need guidance, I've committed to getting help, but the local mosque where I'm from scrutinize if you come to them with these issues and they go around families and I don't want that embarrassment. I came here to look to find people who could guide me by offering maybe books to buy, programs and lectures to watch which could make me closer to the path of GOD. I want to be a good mmuslim, but I can't find the motivation. Even when I'm in Salat, I start to think about other things. Please if you could help, help me out. I'm in dire need.

Assalamu Aleikum,

Dear brother, I understand your issue.
I think you have to try and start praying five times a day, in the beginning it will be hard.
But after a while it will become almost a routine for you inshaAllah.

Not praying after a while will be like in a state of thirst.
As for information, I surely think a lot of brothers and sisters might help you with resources.

There are a lot of useful lectures on this website.
Most of them are given by Shayk Abdul Hakim Murad.

If you're in Chicago then get in touch with Mufti Abrar Mirza.
